Simple Flower Crafts For Kids

Spring is here and this month our craft is all about making Simple Flower Crafts for Kids as part of Tots100 #BostikBlogger craft. Let’s bring some spring indoors and get some Simple Flower Crafts For Kids – Flower Windmill

What you’ll need:-

Two different colour of cardboard

Split Pin

Bostik Glu Dots

Art Straw

A decoration (optional)

Step 1

Fold the two different colours of cardboard diagonally across so that you can cut it into two squares.

Step 2

Fold the cardboard into a diamond.

Step 3

Cut from one corner along the diagonal fold. Stop at around 3cm from the centre. Continue along all 4 sides.

Step 4

Fold the four alternate corner sections down to the centre of the paper. Glue them down with Bostik Glu Dots. They make it so much easier.

Step 5

Keep going until you have one that looks like above.

Step 6

Add in a split pin to the middle of the windmill.

Step 7

Make a hole in the top of your art straw for the split pin.

Step 8

Put the split pin through the windmill and the art straw. You don’t want to do it too tight so it still spins.

Step 9

Place a sticker centrally on the windmill so that it holds the blades in position.

Step 10

Here is our Flower Windmill, what do you think? I feel we need to make a few of these.
